The Human Lives Depending on Technologies

As we approach the new millenium, it has become apparent that more than ever before, we need engineering science. And yet every new applied science places new demands upon us creating new forms of frustration and stress. We can not come through with it, alone we can not live without it. If we fail to conform ourselves, entrusting we remain the ignorant victims of the estimator age? Will we become its slave? This is the focus of this paper. We have learned from our readings that the Luddites learned about the technology that was creation abused in their time. They worked on the cotton gin machines and were skilled technicians.They soundless that it was not the power of a useful machine they were fighting but the power of those who mismanaged it. The same can be said for the management of electronic computer technology. There is not doubt that computer technology has become commutation to the operation of global multinationals, financial markets, security surveillance, and as well as everyday life. There is little we can do with a computer interface device that result preserve our identity. Governments acting as a global police force protecting us from ourselves can slow monitor the electronic trail of commands and transactions.Perhaps the Luddites could see farther into the approaching than anyone suspected. With regards to the downf in all of technology and the role it would play on peoples lives, as they became pendent upon technology for survival. Lets take for example the huge technological quandary of the straightaway approaching twenty- front century the issues surrounding Y2K. It has been feared that peoples lives will be tout ensemble devastated, as the technology they have grown to depend on will suddenly fail them on January 1, 2000.It is thought by many that all of the technology that we have come to depend upon for survival will give notice to function successfully. The cars which we depend on for travel, the coffee we depend on to take over our day, the electronically controlled furnaces we depend on for heat, and the elevators we depend on to bring us to work will suddenly fail us all together. counterbalance the traffic lights will become chaotic as the computers that control them will be tricked into believing it is January 1, 1900.Even the great mastermind computer programmers of our time could not think of anything more than a band-aid source to the transportation problem. It appears that the expat Department of the City of Calgary will solve their traffic light dilemma by tricking the computer system that controls the traffic lights into believing it is January 1, 1972. Obviously this band-aid solution will not solve all problems, as this will lock be a problem for the next generation of transportation programmers.It appears as the New Millenium fast approaches we need to descend to an age that does not depend on technology for survival. People are concerned that since no technology is reliable enough to survive the Y2K dilemma that we will have to return to the ways of our ancestors for survival during this time of technological uncertainty. Heaven forbid if we could not get a fresh loaf of bread from our technologically ripe(p) breadmakers. Information technology is a valuable extension of our power of intuition and reasoning, but when we rely on it exclusively it has a debilitating effect.When we were first confronted with this new technology it absorbed all of our human resources in score to learn and adapt to the magnitude of this new technology. Many of us extend ourselves and become obsessive allowing computers to consume all of our attention therefore, losing our perspective of public and purpose. If this remains the permanent attitude resulting in the overextension of our own resources, which this technology was meant to serve, and so we have become the servants of this technology.
